Get file properties while file upload in perspective

[user66]

Is it possible to get file properties like is Hidden, is read-only, is archive of a file we upload using file upload component in perspective?

No. Those are OS level details; the only thing the server sees after a file has been uploaded is the actual data in the file.

Is there any other way to get this info like using python scripting?

Web applications are never able to get such info, as the browser blocks it.

You would have to use something else than, like a shared folder?
You might be interested in this windows uri i made to open the file explorer through a link. It could open a shared folder on the gateway? It requires to be installed on every client's pc tho.

WebDev to open File Explorer

((hm i might have replied on the wrong topic xd)) You can install an uri (on windows) that works for browsers (not the app) You gotta unzip and run it (as admin) on every client pc tho registerExplorerURIScheme.zip (286 Bytes) this one goes like so, i use the link component to open in a new tab: explorer:C:\yourfile.txt

If you absolutely have to have knowledge of the local filesystem, you need to use Vision, not Perspective.
